Three years ago Angel Villalona was on top of the world. The young baseball star had just signed with the San Francisco Giants, becoming their most prized prospect, and was given a US$2.6 million bonus. Three years later Villalona is in jail for two months preventive custody after he allegedly shot and killed a man in the DR.
The 25-year old victim, Mario Felix de Jesus Velet, was allegedly shot in the neck after an argument in a bar in La Romana. He was taken to the local hospital and pronounced dead on the scene.
Colonel Adrian Baez told ESPNDeportes.com, "Shortly after 10pm we were informed that a man was taken to a medical facility where he died from a neck bullet wound. According to information gathered on the scene, Angel Villalona was the one who shot him".
The Giants released a statement saying, "The Giants were disappointed to learn that there was an incident in the Dominican Republic last night in which an individual was killed and one of our minor league prospects, Angel Villalona, may have been involved. We will monitor the situation closely and trust that the judicial process in the Dominican Republic will resolve the matter promptly and fairly.
